二、解答
(1)A.细节理解题。根据文章中的第二段He was no longer a nobody.(他不再是一个无名小卒。)及He only got in on the act because the starter was injured.(他之所以能够上场,是因为首发队员受伤了。他代替了首发队员。)可知Brads出名是在他取代一名NFL球员担任首发之后。故选A。(2)A.推理判断题。根据第三段Today,Brady,is considered perhaps the greatest quarterback ever.He had become a superstar yet.He had never lose that fire.(今天布雷迪在成为超级巨星之前,被认为是最伟大的四分卫。然而他从未失去那种热情。这一种热情指的是他对足球的热爱。)可知他不太在乎输赢。故选A。(3)B.推理判断题。根据第四段和第五段His teammates had dreamed of being him.(他的队友梦想成为他)及He kept telling his teammates to keep going when the game wasn"t over.(当比赛不顺利的时候,他是如何告诉队友继续前进的。这表明了穆雷迪有很强的意志力。)可知是为了表明他有非常坚强的意志。故选B。(4)B.推理判断题。根据文章大意,可以得出布雷迪的成就,取决于他不懈的努力,以及坚定的意志力。这与B选项成功的秘诀是坚持到底含义相同。故选B。
